It’s been 20 years since the events of the original game. The virus won, and humanity is slowly dying. You play as Aiden Caldwell, a wandering Pilgrim who delivers goods, brings news, and connects the few remaining survivor settlements in barren lands devastated by the zombie virus. However, your true goal is to find your little sister Mia, who you left behind as a kid to escape Dr. Waltz's torturous experiments. Haunted by the past, you eventually make the decision to confront it when you learn that Mia may still be alive in Villedor — the last city standing on Earth.
You quickly find yourself in a settlement torn by conflict. You’ll need to engage in creative and gory combat, so hone your skills to defeat hordes of zombies and make allies. Roam the city, free run across Villedor’s buildings and rooftops in search of loot in remote areas, and be wary of the night. With every sunset, monsters take control of the streets.
Dying Light 2: Stay Human is the latest entry in the open world zombie game franchise from Techland, giving players the chance to explore a new city that's been overrun by the undead. While it typically retails for $59.99, Dying Light 2 is discounted for Black Friday on Amazon, giving gamers the chance to buy the game for $24.99, a whopping 58% discount. Of course, with this Dying Light 2 deal part of Amazon's Black Friday deals, it will only be available at this price for a limited time.
Dying Light 2 was a big sales success, but it's safe to say that there are fans of the franchise that have yet to jump into the new game. Dying Light 2 puts players in the role of Aiden, a pilgrim who finds himself in the city of Villedor. Aiden finds himself wrapped up in the politics of the city while simultaneously having to contend with the ever-present threat of zombie hordes. Dying Light 2 players have to upgrade Aiden's abilities to survive against zombies and human enemies alike.
One of Dying Light 2's defining features is its co-op mode. Dying Light 2 online co-op allows up to four players to team together and take on the zombie threat. The game did earn mixed reviews from critics, but it may be worth it at the discounted Black Friday price, especially if one is able to convince their friends to take the plunge and pick up the game as well for co-op play.
Dying Light 2 launched back in February, but it's still receiving support from developer Techland. There are plans to support Dying Light 2 for up to five years after its launch, with the developer already putting out a free New Game+ mode and just recently launching the Bloody Ties premium DLC expansion.
Dying Light 2: Stay Human is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X with a Switch version also in development.
